JazzFest 2018: Victor Provost and Faculty Jazz Combos

Steel Pannist Victor Provost and a special tribute to Roland Paolucci highlight The University of Akron's JazzFest 2018, March 13-17 at Guzzetta and EJ Thomas Halls.

Widely regarded as one of the world's leading voices on the steel pan, Victor Provost has meticulously developed a reputation as a "dazzling" soloist, crafting an impressive improvisational voice and style. He is the 2018 Bittle Jazz Artist-in-Resience, made possible by the Bittle Jazz Residency, generously supported by Frances Yates Bittle.

Wednesday's concert at EJ Thomas Hall is $12 general admission, $6 non-UA students, and free for UA students with ZipCard. For tickets, call 330-253-2488 or visit www.uaevents.com.
